== History ==
The usage of the phrase thirst trap derived from [[selfie]] culture.<ref name="Dictionary.com -slang">{{cite web | title=What Does Thirst Trap Mean? | website=Dictionary.com | date=June 6, 2018 | url=https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/thirst-trap/ | access-date=2020-06-09 | archive-date=June 11, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611123236/https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/thirst-trap/ | url-status=live }}</ref> Though its origin is ambiguous, thirst trap was used in the 1999 book, ''Running for Dummies'' authored by [[Florence Griffith Joyner]] and John Hanc.
The authors defined a body's need for hydration prior to the onset of thirst and the false sense that the immediate thirst was quenched with the first intake of fluid. To avoid the thirst trap, the authors suggested further intake of fluids even though the body's "thirsty message" had been sated.<ref>Joyner, F.J.; Harc, J. (1999). ''Running for Dummies,'' Foster City, CA: IDG Books, p. 39.</ref>
The term ''[[wikt:thirst trap|thirst trap]]'' re-emerged on [[Twitter]] and ''[[Urban Dictionary]]'' in 2011, and throughout the years with the rise of [[Snapchat]], [[Instagram]], and [[Online dating application|online dating apps]] such as [[Tinder (app)|Tinder]].<ref name="NPR.org 2018"/> In 2011, it was defined by Urban Dictionary as "any statement used to intentionally create attention or 'thirst'."<ref name="Davis 2015">{{cite web | last=Davis | first=Allison P. | title=Quit Worrying and Embrace the Art of the Thirst Trap | website=The Cut | date=March 13, 2015 | url=https://www.thecut.com/2015/03/quit-worrying-and-embrace-the-thirst-trap.html | access-date=2020-06-09 | archive-date=October 22, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201022182126/https://www.thecut.com/2015/03/quit-worrying-and-embrace-the-thirst-trap.html | url-status=live }}</ref>

The usage of the phrase thirst trap derived from [[selfie]] culture.<ref name="Dictionary.com -slang">{{cite web | title=What Does Thirst Trap Mean? | website=Dictionary.com | date=June 6, 2018 | url=https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/thirst-trap/ | access-date=2020-06-09 | archive-date=June 11, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200611123236/https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/thirst-trap/ | url-status=live }}</ref> Though its origin is ambiguous, thirst trap was used in the 1999 book, ''Running for Dummies'' authored by [[Florence Griffith Joyner]] and John Hanc.
The authors defined a body's need for hydration prior to the onset of thirst and the false sense that the immediate thirst was quenched with the first intake of fluid. To avoid the thirst trap, the authors suggested further intake of fluids even though the body's "thirsty message" had been sated.<ref>Joyner, F.J.; Harc, J. (1999). ''Running for Dummies,'' Foster City, CA: IDG Books, p. 39.</ref>
The term ''[[wikt:thirst trap|thirst trap]]'' re-emerged on [[Twitter]] and ''[[Urban Dictionary]]'' in 2011, and throughout the years with the rise of [[Snapchat]], [[Instagram]], and [[Online dating application|online dating apps]] such as [[Tinder (app)|Tinder]].<ref name="NPR.org 2018"/> In 2011, it was defined by Urban Dictionary as "any statement used to intentionally create attention or 'thirst'."<ref name="Davis 2015">{{cite web | last=Davis | first=Allison P. | title=Quit Worrying and Embrace the Art of the Thirst Trap | website=The Cut | date=March 13, 2015 | url=https://www.thecut.com/2015/03/quit-worrying-and-embrace-the-thirst-trap.html | access-date=2020-06-09 | archive-date=October 22, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201022182126/https://www.thecut.com/2015/03/quit-worrying-and-embrace-the-thirst-trap.html | url-status=live }}</ref>

<p>The usage of the phrase thirst trap derived from <a href="/wiki/Selfie" title="Selfie">selfie</a> culture.<sup id="cite_ref-Dictionary.com_-slang_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dictionary.com_-slang-1">[1]</a></sup> Though its origin is ambiguous, thirst trap was used in the 1999 book, <i>Running for Dummies</i> authored by <a href="/wiki/Florence_Griffith_Joyner" title="Florence Griffith Joyner">Florence Griffith Joyner</a> and John Hanc.
</p><p>The authors defined a body's need for hydration prior to the onset of thirst and the false sense that the immediate thirst was quenched with the first intake of fluid. To avoid the thirst trap, the authors suggested further intake of fluids even though the body's "thirsty message" had been sated.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup>
